Page editing extremely slow with field type Page/AsmSelect

[FlorianA]

Hi all,

on my site, I use one template with a field of type Page/AsmSelect (a single-page template used for site settings). When I try to edit the page of this template, loading of the page editor is extremely slow - I can't do it on the productive server, since the 30-second execution time limit of my provider exceeds.

After removing the Page/AsmSelect field from the template, it works without problems, but as soon as I add it again, the editor becomes slow again - even if the field's value doesn't contain any page references.

Is this a known issue? Should I do anything different? Any help will be appreciated!

Is it trying to display thousands of pages and timing out? If so maybe an input type such as Page Auto Complete, which doesn't load all of the pages at once might work.

Sounds logical. And it works with Page Auto Complete. Thank you, @taotoo ?
